Just keep some for yourself. You'll love it.

I don't want to hoard til it is worthless by accident. Tips anyone?

Yes, quit hoarding and enjoy. Tomorrow is promised to no one. Clearly we have WD and his ilk to keep us tantalized with luscious offerings and suprises daily, and many times in a day during woot-off!

SE WI only.

Anybody in SE WI want 2 or all 4 bottles?
For the price here of course.

I'm in Sheboygan,WI.
Hour north of Milwaukee and an hour south of
Green Bay.

Jumped too quickly on the deal.
Not a big dessert wine fan.

shoot me a message if you're interested.

From the wine.woot advert:

Aging potential of several years at the least.

Thank you! I knew someone would pop in with ones that did not have labeled corks.

That said, I am so excited to try this! Congratulations to WD and the rest of the WW team on what really is the best wine buying experience out there. Well, except perhaps for the Corison, Wellington, and Caton/Muscardini tasting rooms... ;)

Come join us on Sunday! Head over to the "Visiting Healdsburg" thread on the World of Wine Woot tab.

cyclebex wrote:That sounds fantastic! Let us know how it turns out. I am regretting only buying one, no way am I experimenting cooking with this precious wine.

Wooters that have attended woot gatherings in Vegas have had them; I think they were a hit. ;)

Any Dessert style port or zin I've used in the recipe has worked well. I also put the wine in the ganache I make for the frosting.

dagnabit I was looking at the page at 4:50am and decided to wait until after work to make a decision... now it's sold out

Man, waaay past sellout time. I guess my wallet should celebrate, though...

Actually, it does matter. Many of us have done experiments with different glasses. The consensus is that glasses absolutely make a difference.

Welp - time to add some port glasses to the collection! Was just going to do a pair of the Riedel ones that would match my other glasses. Anyone have any other lower cost suggestions that would work for this wine?

Hey michaepf -- I couldn't figure out how to shoot you a pm, so I'm doing this public reply to your message. I decided to wait to pull the trigger until after I returned home after a meeting today, and found the "Sold Out" sign. I'm interested in your offer, if it still stands.

Thanks for the tips! I am doing a local winery tour this month. Maybe I will experiment with what I bring home from this tour.

To PM an enabler, click the little envelope next to his/her name.

How is it the 5th anniversary I have purchases in my account back to 6/1/06? Back in the bad old Parker Station days ;)

Click on the envelope beside is name next to his post. -Just in case he doesn't check the thread again.

You are correct on all accounts. Unfortunately, my bank account doesn't allow for too much splurging. Therefore, I have been justifying all my wine woots with the upcoming Christmas holliday.

I just served a dinner with some select pairings. I ran out of glasses and my uncle said it would be fine to serve in a paper cup. I just looked at him. Sheesh! I may not have every single type of glass, but I am not putting my hard earned wine in a paper cup!

cyclebex wrote:My mother always turns her nose up at wine. However, if I bring in a dessert wine and open it up she will drink it all while my back is turned. Dessert style wines are a great jumping off point, though I would stay away from port. This one sounds excellent!

It's nothing personal against wine, I just don't like the taste of alcohol in general. Its all the same to me and I just can't get over the alcohol taste, it's what I imagine drinking flavored rubbing alcohol would be like, they certainly smell the same.

Smallish champagne flutes should do the trick, or better yet riesling glasses. Small with a tapered top!
Caveat: I am not a wine glass snob nor do I drink much dessert wine. I will however confirm that wine tastes better out of an appropriate glass than it does from a keg cup!

If you feel brave try this: http://www.internetwines.com/rws40327.html
Only 4% alcohol. You can't tell there is any in there, honest.

NOW I remember! Thanks kylemittskus! (I have a new monitor with weird settings I need to fix. I couldn't even see the little envelope, but now I can.)

I can't wait for buyer remorse to set in when 500 people realize when 12oz of wine for $11/each hits them. It's the same feeling you get when you are in Europe and you pay 3 Euros for a can of Diet Coke (about $4.20 US)

Each of you will have to go buy yourselves a 5 liter box of Zinfandel for $15 just to redeem yourselves. No-one sips sweet wine, it's like Lay's potatoes chips.

Yep, I said it and I meant it.

It's true, try as I might, I can't just have a small sip! I found the price reasonable though. I have a favorite sweet red that costs twice as much. If this is as good, I did myself a disservice only going in for one.

Blowing minds since 2005

I wish you many more years of this!

AAAAAHHHHH!!!! Can't believe I missed out on this! I saw it last night right as it posted, but I can't have wine delivered to my work anymore, and I couldn't remember my girlfriends work address. Had her send it to me this morning, but had a busy day and just now remembered that I needed to go buy some of Wine Woot's 5th year anniversary wine. Boohoo... Guess that will teach me to commit my girlfriends work address to memory! With any luck, maybe some of this will show up in the next woot off... Keeping fingers crossed!

If anyone in Dallas Area wants to part with a bottle...Id love to take it off your hand.

73fixed - just sent you a PM.

If anyone else is looking to unload any of this near SE WI, I might be interested in more. I completely missed this deal since I was preoccupied with a Brewers playoff game today. If it wasn't for advancing to the NLCS I'd probably be pretty bummed for missing out. Thanks and go Brewers!

I was pulling for the Brewers (since the Braves missed it by that much...)!

Happy Anniv wine.woot. I'm sending you money.

kylemittskus wrote:Actually, it does matter. Many of us have done experiments with different glasses. The consensus is that glasses absolutely make a difference.

I agree. It's really difficult to read the labels without my glasses.

bummed I missed this. Woot Cellars and Peter are a no-brainer. Even if I am broke.

mbrengman wrote:How is it the 5th anniversary I have purchases in my account back to 6/1/06? Back in the bad old Parker Station days ;)

That's a good point, I just checked and my first purchase was Nicholson Ranch pinot in June '06. Not quite sure why October '11 is the 5 year anniversary. Unless it's the woot cellars anniversary, my first woot cellars purchase was Humbug in 11/07, but obviously that was not the first, I know at least Monkey Prize was before that.

Sigh - not one I would have wanted to miss. The alarm dragged us out of bed at 4AM so we sould hit the road for a drive south towards Mrytle Beach. By the time we stopped for the night and I logged on, Sold Out. Rats.

If anyone would like to take pity on a poor soul and unload a few extra bottles, please send me a private message.

St. Supéry 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot Sampler? Loved it and they still call with enticing wine club offers.

(Tap Tap Tap) Impatiently waiting for shipment!

N_Jay wrote:(Tap Tap Tap) Impatiently waiting for shipment!

you may be waiting a little while longer, better to try to get some patience. ;)

I'm just hoping that a few show up later, on a woot off maybe. I missed this but would love to try a bootle.
